The Moundville stud is in the shape of a classic mound structure and is carved with sky serpent scales as a celebration of the continuance of our southeastern tribal legacy.

Significance

The Chickasaw people are descendants of the metropolis of Moundville, located in today’s state of Alabama. Moundville was a major city fueled by trade and commerce, which thrived between 1,000AD to after 1500AD. Moundville is named after the great man-made earthen mounds, which still stand today.

Pear Drop Pendant in Sterling Silver

Large, shimmering rose-cut gemstones are set in an elegant bezel and accented with a stylized sun disk design. It is handcrafted in either a labradorite or rainbow moonstone with the option of three hanging briolette labradorites or moonstones.

Significance

The sun disk pattern is inspired by an ancient southeastern carved shell gorget. The sun disk pattern was also used in other southeastern carved shell pieces to depict the feathered wings of southeastern sky dieties.

Details

This pendant is cast in sterling silver and set with rainbow moonstone or labradorite.

These small Art Deco studs are perfect for layering with larger earrings for a strong statement. Large Triangle Studs look great when keeping with the Art Deco theme, but these studs also work well with Shield Earrings or pieces from the Panther Woman Collection.

The detailing on these delicately carved studs are inspired by the intricately adorned Art Deco style architecture of downtown Los Angeles. Kristen Dorsey lives and works amongst these beautiful buildings built in an era where artisanal treatments and luxurious materials brought the beauty of the natural world to the urban cityscape.
